The possible break in this is: "Since then, Griffin has compiled a list of 38 American soccer players -- 34 of them goalies". This at least seems to correlate something goalie related, provided Griffin was not drawing from a data-pool that was biased towards goalies.
It might correlate something else that goalies do, or some mental desire to be a goalie with a weird genetic variant, and so on, but it seems interesting that the position is a factor.
- cjensen 12y agoGriffin is, perhaps without intending to, doing exactly what you hope she isn't: she's making a list of goalies in the US who have cancer. Who else is going to contact her to get their name on the list? The act of collecting a list is an error since the data collected is entirely meaningless. Here's how she should be doing it: randomly select a few cities in the US, then check the cancer rate among soccer players in those cities.
